last Week’s Cotton figures, ! Hwi Third Term and ^Cana^
The New York Chronicle reports the According to the New York ^n'..
cotton receipts cf the seven daysending of Saturday, a perfect understand,ng was
Friday nigbt, lfltb instant, at 218,907H
bales, against 201,882 for the correspond
ing week of last year. Total receipts since
first September last 2,804,948 bales, against
2JH<i,105 f° r the corresponding period of
the previous cotton year—showing an in
crease of 428,794 bales.
The interior port business lor the same
week was as follows; Receipts 122JW3
against 110,254 for the corresponding
week of last year. Shipments 90,908,
against 88,420 last ysar. Stocks 343^03,
against 280,937.
The Chronicle's visible supply table
allows 2,322,985 bales of cotton in sight
last Friday, against 2^03,436 at same
data last year—2,134,311 at same date in
1877, and 2,770,083 at same date in 1870.
These figures show an increase on the
risible supply of last year, at this, date of
117,349 bales.^ An increase on the supply
of 1877 of 188,074 bales, and a decrease
on the visible supply of 1870, at tliis date,
of 447,048 bales.
Middling uplands on Friday, in Liver
pool, were quoted at 0 13-10—at same
date last year the quotation was 5 1-10—
in 1877, at same date, 0 7-10, and in 1870
at same date 6 9-10.
According to the Chronicle's weather
telegrams from the cotton region last Fri
day, rain is still badly needed in Texas
for the small grain crops. New Orleans
had 12*1 or rain. Shreveport has liad 1-30
in the last two weeks. Vicksburg had
rain on two days. Columbns liad 1.81.
Little Rock little or none. Mobile reports
.84; Montgomery 3.00 on three days of
tlie week, and states that ninety per cent,
of lier crop lias been marketed. Selma
reports a good deal of rain and cold and
disagreeable weather. Madison, Florida,
three days of rain—a killing frost and
three-quartore of the crop marketed.
Columbus, Georgia, reports 4.55 ol rain
in one day. Macon makes no report.
Savannah reports rain on four days;
though only .6S of fall. Augusta liad four
rainy days and 1.35 of rainfall. Charles
ton liad 2>7 during the week.
As to the Agricultural Department’s re
port for December the Chronicle fails to
reconcile its figures and estimates. Ap
plying its percentages of increase awl de
crease from last year’s product they show
a crop for 1879-90 of 4,777,000—that is to
say,they foot tip 405,550 hales [diminution
and 109,010 increase, showing a net loss
of 300,940.
Bound for Empire.
According to the Northern newspapers,
the closing days of last week pretty much
settled tlie future of these United States
of America, in favor of Grant—a third
term and a military empire. In the Her
ald, of Friday, au interviewer with Ad
miral Ammon, in Philadelphia, was ablo
to announce tliat Grant had, in effect, def
initely accepted the Presidency of the
Nicaragua Canal Company, and it was
uatnrally supposed that that enterprise
would be sufficient to occupy his time.
The fact of this acceptance, however, is
now denied by General Grant himself,
awl liesidcs this the third term engineers
say there would he nothing in it, if true,
to interlerc with his running for the Pres
idency of the United States, lie can at
tend to both affairs at once—or, if neces
sary, lie could resign the Canal appoint
ment. At any rate, it is substantially de
clared that tlie grand point is settled. Not
only will Grant run for the nomination,
but opposition to him wilt hardly cam the
name. It will he ineffective in the high
est degree.
The” World Getting Richer.
Carefully prepared statistics show that
the valuo of property iii the United States
in 1790, per capita, was $187. In 1870,
with a population of 39,000,000, the aver
age for each individual was $770.90.
Great Britain, in 1805, owned $1,020 to
each inhabitant, and the average for 1875
is put down at $1,300. Wosoc it stated
that the estimated increase in the wealth
of the United Kingdom between the same
periods readies the astonishing sum of
$12,000,000,000 or three times the public
debt of the whole country. If correct, the
aliox'o striking figures show liow almost
indefinitely values may be created tlirougli
improved mechanism and the inventive
genius of man. In some instances, as in
that of fine steel, a few dollars worth of
tlie raw material when converted into
watch springs, are multiplied in valne
many thousand fold. Anil Great Britain
is the greatest manufacturing country on
earth." _
Macon Presbytery.
A special meeting of tlie Presbytery of
Macon was recently held in this city for
the purpose of granting leave to the
Presbyterian Church of Columbus, va
cated by the removal of Dr. Nall to New
Orleans, to prosecute a call before tlie
Presbytery of Memphis, Tennessee, for tlie
pastoral services of Rev. Eugene Daniel,
a noted divine of that city. A quorum^
being present, the Presbytery prtP
cceded to take tlie necessary action in the
premises and the desired permission was
accorded to the Columbus Church. Mr.
Daniel will be a great acquisition to Geor
gia and the Macon Presbytery.

could be more convenient to an enterpris

salaries to the cliiefi and wliat could tell
more for the canal than that its president
was also the head ofqne of the most po we r
ful&ovemments on the earth. One point wa
left unsettled; whether or no, Grant's ac
ceptance of the third term should he
coupled with the declaration that he would
take no more.
The New House Rules.
Tlie report of the House Committee on
Rules was, it will bo recollected, made
the order of the day when the House re
convenes after Christmas, to ho oontinued
as such from day to day until disposod of.
The report was made nem. con. These
rules are declared to be entirely non-par
tisan, and such as to secure accuracy in
business, economy of time, order, uniform
ity and impartiality, and at the same time
to give tbo majority full control of its bus
iness, The committee have reduced the
present 166 rules to 45. Of the present
166, 63, or portions of them, were adopted
prior to 1800, and as there has been no re
vision, many of the rules are practically
obsolete. The present revision was,
therefore, a practical business, qs well qs
a legislative necessity, The increased
representation and increased business of
the Honse made the revision a necessity.
The Vine Church Independent
At the late meeting of the Methodist
Conference in Fort Valley, it was decided
to confer upon the citrons of YlUPVjllO
tlie right and privilege of regulating thoir
own religious worship. The building
owned by the Methodists, and has hitherto
been under the charge of the pastor of
Mulberry Street Church. In making this
concession no proprietary right is sur
rendered. It is simply a loan to the com
munity.
We understand that in future the Meth
odists, Baptists and Presbyterians will
have the privilege of filling the pulpit for
one Sabbath in every month, with a min
ister respectively from each of these de
nominations. The remaining Sabbath
will lie devoted to religious exercises by
the laymen and members of all the
churches. The Vineville sanctuary will
hereafter be in every sense a Union
Church. No community were ever more
united and harmonious.
Can and Will be United.
That noble patriot and sterling Democrat
of the olden time, cx-Govcrnor Seymour,
of Now York, recently made this emphatic
declaration: “A union is so clearly de
manded by the interest of all the members
of the party, that it is a result no one can
question. Just now both parties arc dis
organized. The whole history of tlie
country shows thst the Democratic party
has a vitality tliat no other organization
possesses. Tliat is due to the fact that it
has well settled principles which are
right.”
Tlie Governor's name lias been suggest
ed as an umpire between the two factions.
It is believed that he possesses the confi
dence of both, and would readily be ac
cepted as such.
With the Democracy of the Empire State
once solidly united, the prospect for a Dem
ocratic victory would he cheering indeed.
Compensating the Poor Victims of
the Freedman's Bank.
If the bill which was introduced several
weeks ago by Representative O’Connor, of
South Carolina, in Congress, requiring the
sate of all the appurtenances of the Freed
man’s Bank, and the covering into the
treasury of the money and assets of every
kind belonging thereto, and then, after six
months, providing for an appropriation of
$2,000,000 to defray the losses of the de
positors is not unconstitutional, and would
establish no bad precedent, there would
be few objections to its passage at the
South. Indeed, it would be a most fitting
opportunity to manifest to our colored
friends that their old masters, so far from
desiring to rob them, are willing even to
be taxed to replace what their so-called
benefactors and deliverers stole from them.
If the worth of anything is proven by
its results then surely Dr. Bull’s Cough
Syrup is pre-eminently the best Cough
Syrup now extant.
A Bad Showing for the Richest Coun
try in the World.
On the first of July last, the number of
paupers in England and Wales footed up
072,000. On tlie first of January, owing
to the rigors of winter,there will be 805,-
000. The increase for the past year is
40,000. The increase in able bodied pau
pers anil their children is 36,636. All of
these arc on the list of the “guardians”
and receive eleemosynary aid. There is
no record of course, of the many thous
ands of struggling poor who drag out a
miserable and precarious existence by
their own labor in preference to supplica
ting charity.
Who would exchange free America
with its inviting broad acres and teeming

Give Heed< Young America-
It will be seen by the official action of
the Mayor and Council that during the
Christmas holidays no firing of skyrockets
or Roman candles will be permitted with
in certain prescribed limits of the city.
This is necessary for the public safety.
Several years ago, what liad well nigh
proven a very disastrous fire, was caused
by the entrance of a skyrocket into one of
our grocery stores, which ignited a large
stock of fire-works aud resulted in lieavy
loss to tlie proprietors. The lads must
take their skyrockets to the outskirts of
the city, therefore, before sending them
tip. But they have the consolation of
knowing that crackers and detonating
contrivances are not forbidden, nor the
beating of drums and the blowing of
trumpets. So they, can pitch in and make
as much noise as they like.
The public are cautioned also against
shooting pistols and fire-arms of any de
scription within the corporate limits of the
city. A strong police force will be placed
upon duty to enforce these regulations.

MORE GOOD WOBK
For Macon and Middle Georgia was done
in tlie House to-day by Mr. Blount in the
passage of a bill establishing sessions of
the Federal District and Circuit Courts at
Macon. If I can get a cojiy before closing
this letter, I will forward it for publica
tion. Mr. Blount’s constituents will
liardly need further proof of the energy
and thorough devotion to their interests
than he has furnished during his Con
gressional career. But, like everybody
else, he first had to learn how to make his
work count, something which is not and
cannot be learned in one term, no matter
how apt the scholar may be. Hav
ing the Federal courts at Macon
can not fail to be of great bene
fit to Macon and our section. It will
save money to lawyers, jurors, and every
body else interested in court matters, and
put'money in numerous other pockets.
In time we shall have a government build
ing to beautify the city and give employ
ment in the construction thereof to many
of our working people. I hardly think
such practical and tangible evidences of
fitness as a representative of the people
will fail of appreciation and recognition
at the proper time.
Since writing the above I have received
a copy of the bill which is herewith ap-
snded:
Be it enacted, etc., That the counties
of Pike, Butts aud Jasper, heretofore com
posing a part of the northern district of
Georgia, be transferred to and henceforth
from a part of the southern district of
Georgia.
Sec. 2. Said southern district shall be,and
hereby is, divided into two divisions, to
be known as the eastern and western di
visions of the southern district of Georgia.
The western division shall consist of forty-
three count ies.to-wit: Bibb,Monroe,Jones,
Twiggs, Houston, Crawford, Baldwin,

Telfair, Sumter, Schley, Marion, Talbot,
Harris, Muscogee, Chattahoochie Ate wart,
Webster, Lee, Terrell, Randolph, Quit-

Early, Miller and Mitchell. The eastern
division shall consist of the remaining
may be brought in either division. All
issues of lact in said suits -shall be tried
at a term of the court held in the division
where the suit is-so-brought.
Sec. 5. All offenses committed in cither
of said divisions shall be cognizable and
indictable within said division.
Sec. C. Actions or proceedings now
pending at Savannah, in said Southern
District, which wonld, tinder this act, be
brought in the western division of said
District, may be transferred, by the con.
sent of all parties, to said western divis
ion, and incase of such transfer, all pa
pers and files therein, with copies of all
journal entries, shall be transferred to the
deputy clerk’s office at Macon, and the
same shall be proceeded with in all re
spects, as though it was originally com
menced in tho westoR) division,

All acta and parts of acts inconsistent
herewith are hereby repealed.
GIANT THE 31 AN. 1
The action yesterday of the Radical
Executive Committee in making Don
Cameron their chairman is first blood fo '
Grant, Cameron is fbr Grant first, las ;
and always, and will use all his powers to
secure his nomination. His selection ■ is
considered equivalent to a formal declar
ation by tho committee in Grant’s favor;
If Grant should not be a candidate before
the Convention, the Cameron influence
will go to Sherman, Don’s pretty young
wife being of that blood—Joint's niece, in
short. I find, as do thousands of others,
confirmation in all these things of the cer
tainty of Grant’s success. He ma;
decline under pressure qnd tomptfttlpn
a splendid salary as President oftholntorr
Oceanic Canal, for lio is not rich,but don’i
bet on it. Eight years of bossing this grea.
country with all tho addenda so swoot t< >
an ambitious man pretty well unfits bin
for anything else. For myself I take littli:
stock in the canal project. If Grant can
get back to the White House .be is going
there anil then—Lord! what jolly times
there will be among the old set. Hov ■
Belknap and Robeson will embrace on<;
another find sing Hallelujah! while th<
rest of tlio old gang, big and little, will
join in tho chorus and make ready tlieir
little raids upon the Treasury. It will be
a big time for them hut weeping and wait
ing for those who foot the bills.
“CRIPPLING THE AR3IY.”
The Radicals have howled themselves
hoarse of late years about the army and
its proposed reduction by the Democrats.
I have seen some of them in both Houses
almost have apoplexy at the bare mention
of tho subject. They swore It was too-
small already and saw in the proposition
only au attempt of the rebels and their
allies to gradually destroy it. Some of
tho most moving declarations I have ever
heard on tliat side have had tliis for a text
and I recollect once or twice being nearly
converted myself. Well, how does
the following sound in con
nection with the howl of cripling the
army and taming gallant officers out to
starve. It made me “larf,” no end, whefi
I read it to think the infernal Democrats
should be plotting and scheming to get
rid of heroes who were perilling their
lives in inspecting “Tobin’s Chili Sauco If
Read the harrowing record from a local
paper:
“The Secretary of War has ordered Col
onel D. B. Sachel, inspector-general, to go
to St. Louis, Fort Leavenworth and Clit
cago, to inspect 1,700 bottles of “Tobin’:'
Chili Sauce” and see how many of the:
are spoiled. Colonel Edmund Scriver
ordered to San Francisco to inspect 1C;
bottles, and Colonel N. H. Davis, to New'
York city, where 235 bottles await his at*
tention.”
Heavens! It makes my blood boil tq
think that two full blown colonels of the
United States army should be sent on
such service, when, if we liad an army of
respectable size, a scrub of a lieutenant
might anwer every purpose. But the sub
ject is too painful, and I will not pursue
it.
3IISCELLANEOUS.
Mr. Samuel I. Gustin, of Vineville, put
in an appearance Tuesday.night. He has
"great expectations” this session, which
are considered by those who know best
entirely justifiable, concerning his claims'
against the government. I hope they will
be fully realized
Senator Gordon will not return to
Washington until after tho holidays. Hik
absence has, I understand, given the little
fellows who do Felton’s sneezing when he
takes snuff up in the Seventh district great
dissatisfaction, which I "know must dis-'
tress Gordon deeply,
Captain Smith, of the Albany, and Mr.;'
Hammond, of the Atlanta district, will be
on hand at the reassembling of Congress.'
Georgia is getting to be tolerably well
represented here in the various depart-;
ments. Among the number I recall now'
W. H. McWhorter and Mrs. B. A. Pope
in tlie Treasury; Mrs. Annie Peters and:
Mr. J. G. Zachery in the Interior Depart
ment; Messrs. Welbom, Colquitt and Er
nest Cutts in the Post-Office Department.
There are several others credited to Geor
gia whose names I cannot now recall- 1
Some of those I have named are of quite
recent appointment.
The weather is superb at present. We’
have missed that cold wave for the nonce

And speaking of Christmas, tho aiv,

audience greeted Miss Bessie Darling last
night as “Ariadne.” Slio really deserved

in a very proper and sepulchral tone of
voice, said: “Ladies and gpntlomCnj Ari,
adne being dead, there is really no reason
why we should detain you longer.” This
was sad news to all, hut it was very evi
dent that the funeral was to he strictly
private and the guests had * been invited
out to the death. It would be well to in--
form our audiences in advance when they
are expected to retire, as a. few nights
since they began to leave before 'the ap
pointed hour,” and were stopped by the
pleadings of the actors, who had something
still better to exhibit.
The Columbus Mubdeb.—We learn (JIlRATiyC
from the Enquirer that the coroner’s jury, - r!
drawn to investigate the murder of Mr.
George W. Gammon, whose killing was
mention in the press dispatches' on Ffiday,
after partially investigating the brutal, af
fair, adjourned over until yesterday. No ftIIRATINE
clue has been obtained as to the perpetra- “
tors of the act. The deceased was found
dead in a dense thicket near Columbus
with his throat cut from car to ear. Much
excitement prevailed in the community,
and efforts have been made to track the
perpetrators with hounds, hut in vain.
Robbery was evidently the object of the
murder. The deceased -is supposed to
have had about $150 on his person at the
time.

DR. C. McLANE’S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
P AIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure' ; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom
ach is affected 'with loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with a dull, heavy sen
sation m the back part. There is gen
erally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. $A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains of weariness
and debility; he is easily startled, his
feet are cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of the
skin; his spirit? are low; and although
he is satisfied that exercise.would be
beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try it.
In. fact, ho distrusts every remedy.
Several of the above symptoms attend
the disease, but cases have occurred
where few of them existed, yet exam
ination of the body, aftcy death, has
shown the liver to have been exten
sively deranged. •.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dn. C. McLane's Liver Pills, in
gases',6f 'Ague' and ."Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most 'happy results. No better
cathartic can bo used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who arc afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
For'all bilious 'derangements, and
as a simple purgative, they are un
equaled. r :’
BEWARE OF IMITATIONS.
The genuine are never sugar coated.

lid, with the impression Dn. McLane’s
